I don't find it that hard to find wines at 14% or less. South Africa typically has a ton of options including some cabs at 14%, and a ton of shiraz options or blends. Northern rhone is often somewhere I look if I want a lower ABV wine, Italy often satisfies the criteria as well as Argentina malbec or cab franc's. Always start at cooler climates.

Not sure about availability in the US, but I've bought a couple of bottles of wine from Hochkirch in Henty, Vic, Australia. All three were comfortably below 14%. The 2017 Maximus Pinot Noir is (I think) 13,5%, the 2017 Syrah is 12,5%, and the 2021 Blanc is 11,0% (a blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, fermented on skins with 40% whole bunches).
